Victim
She doesn't walk or pace, she strides
at the speed of escape,
her head panning,
eyes scanning,
every suitor a potential threat,
all tarred with the same brush,
she cannot forgive and cannot forget.
The price paid for violation and she can't settle the debt.
Her assets have been frozen-
love, and trust.
And so she keeps moving, as she must.
Trying to leave her past far behind her
but wherever she goes, her memories find her.
